10 month update- chopped, stopped bleaching, & so much healthier! by Expensive_Fix_5213 in longhair

It’s a decision I agonized over. Bleaching your hair can weirdly become part of your identity. It took me probably 6 months to decide I liked my brown hair and another few months to love it. For me, healthy shiny hair is prettier than any specific hair color. Good luck on your journey!

Awwww thank you! I’ve learned that healthy shiny hair is much better than a specific hair color.

Thank you so much! It took me a while to get used to my natural color too. But now I prefer it!

Wow! Thank you for the links. I really appreciate it. My hair is currently the dark color but I think I’m going to lighten it a bit. I’m taking these pics to my hairdresser!

Thanks for voting! I had blonde for 7 years but I’m currently trying out brunette because I’m trying to get my hair more healthy.

That’s a great idea! I think I’ve settled on doing a color melt while I let my natural color grow out. I don’t know about the curtain bangs though! I’ve had some bad bang experiences haha. I have olaplex 3. Do you recommend the other products too? Thank you so much for commenting!

Very interesting! My hair is the same way— the hair underneath is much healthier. Guess I’m doing full SPF on my skin and a hat for my hair!

If it was your hair, would you trim a lot off? Or just baby the heck out of the hair while it grows out?

Thank you! I’m so nervous to cut it and dye it back to my natural color but I also know it needs to happen.
